Hosted by clinician and researcher Dr. Michael Ruscio, DC, this podcast explores the practical side of functional health, where complex science is translated into actionable steps you can use.

You’ll hear deep dives into gut health, nutrition, and fitness, balanced with a critical eye that isn’t afraid to debunk popular fads when the data doesn’t support them. The tone is conversational yet precise, reflecting Dr. Ruscio’s dual role as a practicing clinician and a dedicated investigator. Each discussion is built to provide clarity, leaving you with a clearer understanding of how your body works and what might help it work better. It’s important to note that this podcast is for educational and informational purposes. While Dr. Ruscio shares his expertise as a doctor of chiropractic, the content does not constitute personal medical or professional advice.
